Today’s Culinary Adventure: Spicy Mango Coconut Rice

Greetings, foodies! I’m excited to share a unique and delicious recipe that I stumbled upon during a recent trip to the tropical paradise of Thailand. The combination of sweet mango, creamy coconut, and spicy chili creates a mouthwatering explosion of flavors that will transport you to an exotic island getaway.

To start off, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 200g jasmine rice
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 red chili, thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Pinch of salt

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

  • saucepan
  • wooden spoon
  • knife
  • cutting board

Start by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat and cover with a lid. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the coconut milk.

Meanwhile, dice the ripe mango and thinly slice the red chili. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it up with a fork and gently fold in the diced mango, sliced chili, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good mix until well combined.

The spicy mango coconut rice is now ready to be plated and served. The aromatic blend of tropical flavors will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings of 150g each. One serving of this spicy mango coconut rice is estimated to be around 300 calories.

A clever tip to enhance the flavor of this dish is to add a teaspoon of turmeric powder while cooking the rice for a vibrant yellow color and earthy undertones.

I encourage you to give this spicy mango coconut rice a try and feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients or adjust the spice level to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
